The Liberals.

The good Liberals of Ogden, as in
other sections of the country, are COZ
sidersbly exercised as to whether the
Mormons will or will not take the
new test oath. The cloven hoof is
plainly portrayed in some instances and
the fact that power was the incentive
to their voluntary contributions o the
Loyal League fund Is plainly made
manifest. Some are Over-anXlots that
the registration officers shall not per
NIT Mormon to take the oath and
claim that that fuactiooary will have
the power to refuse TO permit anv man
TO taAe the oath If it be known that he
Is. Mormon IN good standing.
The theory seems 10 ne that DO Nor

church can subscribe to the required
oath ard rather than permit q Mormon

offices for which they lave struggled so

The City Council.

The City Council met in regular SEES
sion Yesterday afternoon, and after the
usual opening preliminaries a number
of petitions were presented and dis
posed of. A novelty in the line OF pc
titions was handed in from a MIR.
Crompton, who represented that he
had been digging graves for Frank sale,
city Sc ton, for the last year, and that
the sexton was indebted TO him in the
sum of about $3.50; further, that Gale
had given petitioner his note for the
amount, payable at the First National
Bank, but that the note had been dis
honOred, and he wanted the city to co..
lect the bill for him. The matter was
laid on the table, with a suggestion that
the petitioner might possibly find re-
lief by applying to an attorney. Judge
Z. K. Williams set forrh that his law
firm would be pleased to continue in
the employ Of the city, as attorneys,
and that they would have an elaborate
report prepared at an early date, as to
the business done by him for the city
in the past year Mr.. Dee moved that
the matter be referred to
committee of the whole for fu-
ture deliberation, the Mayor being
authorized to call a special session of
the members Mr.. West moved to
amend the motion and proposed that
the Council at once proceed to the con-
sideratien of the appointments to be
made. The former motion prevailed
after considerable discussion.
Thomas Lutz, nightWatchmaR asked
to have his pay increased. Referred to
the committee of the whole.
Fred Booth asked to rent piece of
vacant ground on the west side of Main
Street. Referred to the committee on
public grounds.
Mr.. Reeve, from the committee on
streets, reported that there had been
considerable work done on the streets.
Some good work had been done on the
lane leading to Broom's bench also at
the gravel pit. Mr.. Reeve read tab
ulated statement comparing the eX-
penditures on the streets for 1886 and
1887. It showed that for the two weeks
ending March 9Th, 1887, was $500 as
compared with the corresponding
period of 1886, S182.
Mr.. Reeve reported complaint in re-
gard to sidewalk, and recommended
that the matter bs referred to the
m&rsnal. ms brought up the
question of sidewalks in general, |
and several members of the
Council wanted to say something on
the subject. The matter was laid over,
however, until after the committee re-
ports.
Mr.. Boyle, from the finance COM
mittee, reported that the city was il
debted about S21 600 and that in his |
nTNy ha oak
pend more than about $3.50 per week
on the streets. Mr.. West made
motion embodying this matter and !
endorsing the report.
The matter of purchasing map Of |
the city from Mr.. Nelson, was taken up
and discussed, and was still under |
consideration when the mail left for
Salt Lake.

a MYSTERY EXPLAINED.


The supposed earthquake of Sunday
proves to have hcen explosions of nitro
glycerine Mt Plattsburgh. The first oc-
Cured at 2:l5 o'clock p. m. ana second
seven minutes later. Since the explosion
in January the company had been manu-
featuring in small way by hand to sup
ply the Chateaugay ore and iron company
until the new works near Youkers were
completed. The brick magazine, which
stood in the woods some distance from the
old works, was used for Il factory, while
the explosive was mixed outside. The
dump tank outside contained about POO
pounds.
1t is thought that the heat of the sun
raised the temperature sufficiently to
cause the first explosion. This tUppled
over the coal stove in the factory, scatter
ing the fire and causing the second explo-
sion of 600 pounds of nitro glycerine.
The shock was most terrific, shaking
everything for miles around. The brick
building was scattered for rods, nothing
being left on the spot but an immense
hole in the ground. The trees and bushes
in the vicinity were cut down as if with
an axe. In several OF the stores and resi-
dences in the village windows were broken
out, plastering was torn down and bricks
wore scattered from chmueys.
Fortunately no one was in ured, but had
the second explosion occurred a few min
utes later there would undoubtedly nave
been a heavy loss of life, as hundreds
were on their way to the scene when it
occurred. One man had arrived within
100 rods and was blown against a wood
pile with considerable force.
A few rods from the exploding factory
stood a small wooden building, which
contained 1000 pounds of the explosive,
ready for shipment. The side was blown
out, but its contents, fortunately for
Plattsburgh, did not explode The loss to
the company is more than $1,000.

SHEARING THE SHEEP.
Sixth Annual Meeting of the Vermont
Merino Sheep Shearing Association.

MIDDLEBURY, April THE sixth an.
nual strengthening OF the Vermont
Merino strengthening association was
held here this week, beginning on Tues
day and closing this afternoon. The at
tendance was good, especially on Wednes-
day, when the sheep-house was crowded
all day. The number of sheep brought
in, however, was comparatively small
and while the average of the shearing was
good, there were no noteworthy results.
The fact that the shearing was of less
comparative Importance than usual was
due mainly to two causes, namely, the
bad condition of the country roads and
the numerous private shearings which are
to be held. The association gives the
privileges of its record to sheep shorn at
these private shearings equally with those
shorn at the regular public one, and I'M
less this is changed the glory of the an
nual shearing, as it was when it first start
ed, will soon be thing of the past.
Among the prominent sheep breeders
whose flocks were represented were Presi-
dent f. n. Bissell of Shoreham V. V.
Blackmer of Orwell, l. l.. Eells, Ellis
worth & Lee, Albert Chapman, j. B.
CherbinO and A. Chapman of Middlebury
J. b. Hamlln & Son of Cornwall, j. F..
Barker of Leicester Junction, j. Il. Stick
ney and f.. Il. Stlckney of Shoreham and
Lyman Clark of Addison. Altogether
there were about 100 sheep in the pens,
but only about 30 were shorn
The shearing closed this afternoon, but
it dragged slowly all day, and less than a
dozen sheep went under the sheers. 1t is
probable that the Shearing association
will outlaw the private shearings at their
next annual meeting.

A New Enterprise.

Mr.. A. w. Kingsland and his son, Mr.
j. ID. kingsland 2d of Chicago, and Mr..
A. b. kingsland of this city, are about to
establish factory for the manufacture of
horse nails at some point in the East.
Mr.. A. w. kngsland is the owner of some
new and valuable patents on horse nail
machinery, which are far superior to any
machines now in use. These machines
have been practically tested and their
efficiency and superiority fully establish
ed. They will manufacture what is known
as a "hot forged" nail and the machines
have a capacity more than double that
of any other machine now in use. The
forging machine has an automatic con-
tinuous teed, using the rods from a COLL
thus saving a large percentage of the
waste of other machines. The finishing
machine is exceedingly simple, thus saw
ing Il considerable expense in repairs.
Mr.. A. w. kingsland was educated in
the iron business and has had "A years eX-
perence in the horse nail business, as
business manager of the Northwestern
Horse Nail company of Chicago. His son
was for eight years superintendent of their
factory.
The inventor of the machines, Mr. John
A. Hutchinson of Chicago, will be associ-
ated with the gentlemen named, and we
understand him to be n skillful mechanic,
with 20 years experience in this class of
machinery. 1t would seen that the
proposed company have every facility in
the way of machinery, experience and
business ability, in every department, to
insure success.
Negotiations are now in progress to To-
cate the business at Plattsburgh, n. Y,
to occupy the factory of the late SAranac
Horse Nail company; but some of our
wide awake citizens are interesting them.
selves in the matter of securing the es-
Enlistment of it IN Burlington, aod are
proposing to form a stock company to pro-
vide the capital for the enterprise. We
trust that this will be accomplished. The
goods to be manufactured are staple arti-
Gle. The business will give employment to
quite large number of hands and will be
valuable and desirable addition to the
manufacturing interests of this city.
